Channel 4 has selected Logica, to support its employees with an outsourced HR administration and payroll service for the next five years. Channel 4 made the decision to outsource its HR administration as part of a company-wide programme to reduce costs and streamline its operations. The contract builds on an existing 17 year relationship with the company.

Under the terms of the agreement, Logica will implement Oracle’s payroll application and integrate it with the company’s existing Oracle HR system to achieve a single and unified HR system. Logica will also manage the transition from the current bureau payroll service it provides to Channel 4, to a fully managed service. The new contract will also see Logica manage approximately 25 of Channel 4’s transactional HR processes such as joiners & leavers, employee changes and absence administration.

Commenting on the contract, Gemma Dowson, Senior IT Project Manager at Channel 4 said, “Logica has a proven track record in delivering new and innovative ideas to improve our processes and achieve greater efficiencies that align with our business and technology strategies. We believe that with Logica’s consistent level of support and delivery we will achieve our business aspirations and look forward to further strengthening our relationship.”
